Objective

On one hand, the main objective of the Practice aims at training the teachers on issues concerning school inclusion and the promotion of diversity as a positive factor; on the other hand, the Practice aims at boosting positive messages, best practices and operational tools for implementing educational methodologies specifically addressing gender equality in the early childhood education sector.

Short description of the activities

The Practice has been carried out by implementing face-to-face training for teachers as well as by arranging specific meetings focused on designing and developing educational paths that have been replicated during classes. In addition to that, teachers had the chance to acquire methodologies and strategies aimed at promoting, for example, interculturalism as well as gender equality. Through the realization of educational laboratories, the specific and transversal competencies of the teachers involved have been enhanced enabling them to better help children from preschool and primary school to detect and deal with gender-related stereotypes. As a result of this, teachers acquired best practices fostering social inclusion at school and preventing school dropout and ghettoization.
